Rating: 3/5A step backwards

Other Thoughts: I wanted a card that output 1080p HDMI, for business applications and photo editing. For comparison, I have an older entry-level Gigabyte Radeon HD4500, and tested both cards in two computers. After rebate, this card was about twice the price, after rebate, of the old one.

The old card with fan idles at 44C, while this fanless card idles at 57C. The Windows Experience Index (WinSAT) subscores for (Graphics, Gaming Graphics) for the old card are (5.1, 6.2) and for the Sapphire are (4.7, 6.2). The Sapphire scored lower than the old card.

I contacted Sapphire tech support. This involved signing up for an online account, since there is no live support. Presumably one needs a permanent tech support account to handle the high volume of issues to come. The tech support website itself is problematic, but there appears to be no place to submit a problem ticket for the tech support web site. After creating my tech support account, I clicked on the "forgot password" link to test their security practices. The email I received had my password in clear-text. Hint: your banking web site would never store your password with reversible encryption. After entering various questions and clicking "submit", the web site redirected me to the home page without submitting anything or providing an error message. After several more tries, the request went through. Then, after a number of messages back and forth, tech support asked me what WinSAT was.

Rating: 2/5Very disappointed

Cons: Worked for 5 months now totally wacked out. I was running dual graphics and got a little performance bump. Now it lower fps than the IGP. Can't get it to run right on 4 motherboards. RMAing tomorrow. REALLY left a sour taste in my mouth. Back to Nvidia.....

Rating: 2/5

Pros: Plays HD high quality media. Is small and comes with Low Profile bracket to fit in SSF cases. Does not use that much power.

Cons: Can get ho and really hot under a game. not to good for gaming or even light gaming.

Other Thoughts: This was the first Graphics card I ever bought. Put it in a Small Form Factor HP case with an Athlon II 250 3.0 GHz.I had about about a 320w PSU but the GPU got extremely hot while play Borderlands 1 @1024x786 on medium. If I touched the heatsink while in game after 2 seconds i had to take my finger away from the heat. I know it i recommended 400w PSU but I did not game that much on it so I really don't know it died bit it only used it for 3 months. The only games I played other than Borderlands were Older games like Diablo 2 and a few others i don't recall. Note. I did no get this from newegg. but I still paid 49.99 at a PC shop

Manufacturer Response:

We are sorry that you are having these problems with your card.

Low end cards will not provide you with a good gaming experience.

If your card does not operate correctly and you did not purchase from Newegg then we deal with the RMA.

Rating: 1/5Useless

Other Thoughts: After the first boot when it would no longer start (didn't even make it to the POST), we found we could remove the card, boot the PC, shut it down, put the card back in, and reboot the PC and it would work. So we just left that PC on 24/7 for months paying for the extra electricity. But then some update requried a reboot. Now it won't start with the video card in it at all. $50 for the card down the drain.
